The  Catalogue  of  Books,  now  offered  to  the  public,  comprises 
the  entire  library  of  the  late  Mil.  WM.  E.  BURTON,  the  eminent 
Comedian,  who  devoted  many  years  to  its  collection,  and  it  is 
believed  to  be  by  far  the  largest  Library  of  Dramatic  Literature 
ever  offered  at  public  auction  in  this  or  any  other  country. 

It  contains  a  most  surprising  mass  of  rare  old  English  Plays; 
Works  on  the  Drama,  History  of  the  Stage,  Theatres,  Theatrical 
Characters  and  Biography,  Pageants,  Royal  Progresses,  and  Pro 
cessions,  Mimes,  Pantomimes,  Masquerades,  Mummeries,  Myste 
ries,  and  Morris  Dancers,  Fantoccini,  Olympian  Games,  Feats  of 
the  Circus,  Carnivals,  Cavalcades,  and  every  other  description  of 
Exhibition  which  were  all  objects  of  Mr.  B.'s  research;  indeed, 
such  was  Mr.  Burton's  enthusiasm  that  nothing  was  too  trivial  that 
tended  in  any  way  to  illustrate  the  profession  which  he  was  so 
eminently  qualified  to  fill. 

OLD  ENGLISH  POETRY,  will  be  found  not  only  voluminous,  but 
abounding  in  rare  and  choice  copies,  including  many  English 
translations  of  the  classics  of  very  early  dates;  while  the  Dramatic 
collection  is  replete  with  the  first  editions  of  most  of  the  Plays  of 
importance.  Shakspeariana  is  especially  rich,  not  only  in  rare 
books,  but  in  some  presque  unique  copies  of  books  printed  for 
presentation  only. 

Amidst  such  a  variety  of  really  choice  and  rare  books  it  would 
be  almost  invidious  to  make  a  special  reference  to  any  particular 
work  or  works;  but  the  fact  of  there  being  the  First  Four  Folio 
Editions  of  Shakspcare's  Works  is  too  important  to  overlook. 
Also,  all  the  collected  editions  from  that  of  Rowe  to  Halliwell's 
folio.  For  a  further  account  of  this  department,  the  reader  is 
referred  to  page  335. 

TOPOGRAPHICAL  WORKS,  however  rare  or  expensive,  were  not 
forgotten,  nor  Antiquities  of  Greece  and  Rome.  Among  the 
former  is  a  fine  copy  of  the  first  edition  of  Dugdale's  Warwick 
shire,  containing  the  earliest  engraving  of  the  Monument  of  Shaks-

iv  NOTICE. 

peare,  by  the  elaborate,  accurate,  and  most  industrious  Hollar, 
which  differs  materially  from  all  the  more  recent  representations 
of  it,  either  from  the  burin  of  the  engraver,  or  the  numerous 
plaster  casts.  Dugdale's  St.  Paul's,  Weever's  Funeral  Monuments, 
Wren's  Parentalia,  and  Nichols'  Royal  Progresses  will  also  be 
found. 

ME.  BURTON'S  speciality  as  an  author  of  Comic  Pieces  naturally 
led  him  to  the  collection  of  Books  of  Wit  and  Humor ;  of  this  fact 
there  will  be  sufficient  evidence  on  referring  to  the  departments  of 
Facetiae  and  Jest  Books,  among  which  will  be  found  many  works 
of  rarity — books  of  this  class  being  cheaply  got  up,  are  especially 
liable  to  mutilation. 

Polonius's  description  of  the  players  whom  Rosencrantz  and  Gil- 
derstern  "coted  on  the  way"  from  the  Academy  at  Wittenburg  to 
the  Court  of  Elsinore,  as  "  being  the  best  actors  in  the  world, 
either  for  Tragedy,  Comedy,  History,  Pastoral,  Pastoral-comical, 
Historical-pastoral,  Tragical-historical,  Tragical-comical,  Histori 
cal-pastoral,  Scene  indivisible,  or  Poem  unlimited,"  conveys  some 
idea  of  the  thorough  completeness  of  this  dramatic  collection. 
"  Seneca  was  not  too  heavy,  nor  Plautus  too  light." 

The  Curiosities  and  Antiquities  comprise  some  desirable  rari 
ties,  including  Statues,  Busts,  Models,  Casts  of  Shakspeare's  Monu 
ment  and  Bust  at  Stratford,  including  Clara  Fisher's  Museum,  and 
the  celebrated  Mulberry  Tree  Tea  Caddy,  one  of  the  choicest  Sou 
venirs  of  the  Tree  in  existence,  and  perfectly  unique.  Also,  many 
Bronze  Medals,  a  Watch  formerly  belonging  to  Washington,  and 
Talma's  Repeater,  presented  by  Napoleon. 

The  Library  Furniture  comprises  a  series  of  Book  Cases  of 
Gothic  Pattern,  made  for  a  room  thirty  feet  square.  An  Oak 
Book  Case  and  four  Mahogany  Book  Cases,  Library  Table,  Chairs, 
two  Fire-proofs,  &c.  Also,  a  magnificent  Antique  Buffet,  or  Side 
board,  Gas  Fixtures,  Billiard  Table,  &c. 

There  are  also  a  few  of  the  best  of  the  Oil  Paintings  which  were 
not  sold  with  the  Gallery. 

Of  the  Catalogue,  let  it  suffice  to  observe  that  the  books  are  all 
faithfully  represented,  and  distant  buyers  may  rely  upon  the  con 
dition  of  the  books  being  truly  expressed.  Its  arrangement  has 
been  attended  with  much  labor,  but  the  convenience  to  the  buyer 
will  be  self-evident.

ye  rise,  progress  and  manners  of  ye  famous  Knights  of  Malta),  our

to  me  seem  to  comprehend  a  general  idea  of  ye  affairs  of  Europe,

The  utility  of  a  Provincial  Glossary  to  all  persons  desirous  of  under

"  Two  men  once  united  by  friendship  and  forever  by  fame,  the  Dioscuri 
of  our  Zodiac,  rose  upon  the  horizon  as  the  star  of  Shakespeare, 
though  still  in  its  fullest  brightness,  was  declining  in  the  sky.  In 
Comedy  they  founded  a  new  school,  at  least  in  England,  the  vestiges 
of  which  are  still  to  be  traced  in  our  theatre.  Their  language  bril 
liant  with  wit,  their  measure,  though  they  do  not  make  great  use  of 
prose,  very  lax  and  rapid,  running  frequently  to  lines  of  thirteen 
and  fourteen  syllables.  Few  of  their  comedies  are  without  a  mix 
ture  of  grave  sentiments  or  elevated  characters  ;  and  though  there 
is  much  to  condemn  in  their  indecency  and  even  licentiousness  of 
principle,  they  never  descend  to  the  coarse  buffoonery  not  unfre- 
quent  in  their  age.  Never  were  dramatic  poets  more  thoroughly

die,  Eetrieved,  by  and  for  the  benefit  of,  John  Lowin 
and  Joseph  Taylor,  fine,  copy,  folio.  Lond.  1652 

"  Beaumont  and  Fletcher  are  lyrical  and  descriptive  poets  of  the  first 
order  ;  every  page  of  their  writings  is  a  florilegium ;  there  is  hardly 
a  passion,  character,  or  situation,  which  they  have  not  touched  in 
their  devious  range,  and  whatever  they  touched,  they  adorned  with 
some  new  grace  or  striking  feature  ;  they  are  masters  of  style  and 
versification  in  almost  every  variety  of  melting  modulation  or 
sounding  pomp,  of  which  they  are  capable  :  in  comic  wit  and 
spirit,  they  are  scarcely  surpassed  by  any  writers  of  any  age." — 
Hazlitt. 

"  In  the  romantic  Drama,  Beaumont  and  Fletcher  are  almost  supreme. 
Their  plays  are,  in  general,  most  truly  delightful.  I  could  read  the 
Beggar's  Bush  from  morning  to  night.  How  sylvan  and  sunshiny 
it  is  !  The  Little  French  Lawyer  is  excellent.  Lawrit  is  conceived 
and  executed  from  first  to  last  in  comic  humor.  Monsieur  Thomas 
is  also  capital.  I  have  no  doubt  whatever  that  the  first  act  and  the 
first  scene  of  the  second  act  of  The  Two  Noble  Kinsmen,  are  Shakes 
peare's.  " —  Coleridge.

of  the  Colony,  the  incompetence  of  the  authorities,  &c.,  and  the  state 
of  affairs  which  led  to  the  outbreak.

If  Hoileau  was  too  stern  to  admit  the  pliancy  of  grace,  he  compen 
sates  by  good  sense  and  propriety.  He  is  like  (for  I  will  drop  ani

Lawes,  servant  to  his  late  Majesty  in  his  publick  and 
private  musick,  rare,  Portrait,  8vo.  Lond.  1651 

Cartwright  died  at  the  early  age  of  thirty-two,  but  he  lived  long  enough 
to  earn  the  distinguished  praise  of  Ben  Jonson,  who  used  to  say  of 
him  "My  son,  Cartwright,  writes  all  like  a  man." 

Judging  from  the  commendatory  poems,  which  are  more  than  fifty  in 
number,  attached  to  this  volume,  it  would  appear  that  Cartwright 
was  much  beloved  and  admired  by  all  the  great  writers  of  the  time. 
The  last  of  the  commendatory  poems  is  by  Isaac  Walton.  "  On  the 
Death  of  my  dear  Friend,  Mr.  William  Cartwright,"  one  of  the  few 
specimens  of  the  muse  of  the  good  old  Isaac.

poetic  writers  of  that  age  for  his  translations  as  well  as  his  original 
writings.  He  joined  with  Ben  Jonson  in  composing  the  play  called 
Eastward  Hoe.  He  also  translated  Homer,  Hesiod  and  MIIS.TUS, 
which  works  were  esteemed  well  done  in  that  infancy  of  translation. 
His  theatrical  pieces  are  13  in  number.

"The  greatest  of  the  French  dramatic  poets.  He  was  born  at  Rouen,  in 
1G06,  and  for  some  time  practiced  in  that  city  as  an  advocate.  His 
first  dramatic  performance  was  'Mi-lite,'  a  comedy,  which  met  with 
such  distinguished  success,  that  he  was  encouraged  to  devote  his 
rare  powers  to  the  drama.  The  tragedies  of  '  Medea,'  '  The  Cid,' 
'  The  Horatii,'  and  '  Cinna,'  followed,  and  established  for  their  author 
a  pre-eminent  station  among  French  dramatists.  Besides  the  fore 
going,  he  wrote  many  other  tragedies,  and  translated  Thomas  ,\ 
Kempis,  '  On  the  Imitation  of  Jesus  Christ.'  It  is  melancholy  to 
reflect  that  Corneille,  who  had  achieved  fame  equally  for  himself 
and  his  country's  literature,  ended  his  days  in  poverty  and  distress.

names  are  not  familiar  to  us,  have  moulded  our  language  with  the

Pope's  admiration  of  Dryden  is  well  known ;  he  declared,  "  he  could 
select  from  his  works  better  specimens  of  every  mode  of  poetry, 
than  any  other  English  writer  could  supply.  Speaking  of  his  writ 
ings,  he  says, '  as  to  his  writings,  I  may  venture  to  say,  in  general 
terms,  that  no  man  hath  written  in  our  language,  so  much,  and  so 
various  matter,  and  in  so  various  manners,  so  well.'  .  .  .  His 
prose  had  all  the  clearness  imaginable,  together  with  all  the  noble 
ness  of  expression,  all  the  graces  and  ornaments  proper  and  peculiar 
to  it,  without  deviating  into  the  language  of  poetry." — Congreve.

A  warm  admiration  of  the  Elizabethan  Dramatists  led  him  to  imitate 
their  style  and  manner,  in  a  tragedy  named  John  Woodville,  which 
was  published  in  1802.  There  is  much  that  is  exquisite,  both  in 
sentiment  and  expression  in  Lamb's  Play,  and  the  following  descrip 
tion  of  the  Sports  in  the  Forest,  has  a  truly  antique  air,  like  a  pas 
sage  in  Ileywood  or  Shirley —

summate  elegance,  exhibits  a  perfectibility,  both  of  diction  and  ver 
sification,  of  which  wo  have,  in  dramatic  poesy  at  least,  no  corre 
sponding  example.  A  transparency,  perspicuity,  sweetness,  har 
mony,  ductility,  blended  strength  and  ease,  in  structure  of  his 
Metre,  which  delight  and  never  satiate."  —  Dr.  Draper. 

"  The  tragedies  of  Massinger  have  a  calm  and  dignified  seriousness,  a 
lofty  pride,  that  impresses  the  imagination  very  strongly.  His  genius 
was  more  eloquent  and  descriptive  than  impassioned  or  inventive  : 
yet  his  pictures  of  suffering  virtue,  its  struggles  and  its  trials,  are 
calculated  to  touch  the  heart,  as  well  as  gratify  the  taste.  His  ver 
sification  is  sweetly  smooth  and  mellifluous."  —  Chambers.

to  select  a  more  intrinsically  valuable  and  gratifying  literary  gem 
than  the  present.  It  is  the  copy  of  Dr.  Johnson's  Lives  of  the 
Poets,  presented  to  his  friend,  Mrs.  Thrale,  and  enriched  throughout 
with  copious  notes  and  annotations  by  her,  which  are  entirely  unpub 
lished.  The  late  editions  of  "  Boswell's  Life"  have  shown  the 
eagerness  with  which  every  scrap  relating  to  Dr.  Johnson  has  been 
collected  and  cherished,  though  often  of  trivial  value  ;  while  these 
volumes  present  an  untouched  mine  of  entirely  new  material,  from 
one,  of  whose  house  he  was  so  long  an  inmate,  and  who  soothed 
with  feminine  attention  and  the  luxuries  of  wealth  the  declining 
years  of  the  "Colossus  of  Literature."  It  may  be  doubted  whether 
an  equally  valuable  addition  to  our  knowledge  of  Dr.  Johnson  is  in 
existence.  On  the  lly-leaf  of  vol.  1  is  the  signature  "//.  L.  Thrale,

1781,"  and  the  notes  with  which  the  margins  abound  appear  to  have 
been  written  on  various  perusals  between  that  time  and  1817, 
(which  is  the  last  date  noticed),  four  years  previous  to  Mrs.  Piozzi's 
death,  in  1821,  in  her  82d  year.  In  a  note  to  Boswell,  Mr.  Croker 
says  of  Mrs.  Piozzi's  hand,  "  Her  writing  is  an  almost  perfect  speci 
men  of  calligraphy,  and  this  power  remained  unimpaired  to  the 
last  years  of  her  long  life  ;"  a  fact  to  which  these  volumes  testify — 
indeed  some  of  the  later  notes  are  almost  microscopic,  though  per 
fectly  clear  and  legible.  The  notes,  which  are  many  hundreds  in 
number,  and  of  various  extent,  from  a  few  words  to  a  long  para 
graph,  may  be  roughly  classed  as  unpublished  anecdotes  of  Dr. 
Johnson,  anecdotes  of  English  literary  men  and  their  works,  derived 
from  a  constant  intercourse  with  the  highest  sources  of  information, 
and  original  critical  remarks,  &c.,  by  Mrs.  Piozzi  herself,  frequently 
displaying  great  vivacity  and  talent.  A  specimen  or  two,  chiefly  of 
the  first  class,  is  given  merely  to  show  their  character  and  import 
ance  : — 

"When  I  expressed  my  grief  and  anger  at  seeing  Young's  character  so 
mangled,  (by  Herbert  Crofts,  who  supplied  the  Life  in  Johnson's  Col 
lection),  'Why,  pry'thee,  my  dear,  (says  Dr.  Johnson),  why  didst 
not  do  it  thyself?'  'I  did  not  possess  any  materials  for  such  a 
work,'  was  my  reply.  'Nor  I,  (answered  Johnson),  and  I  was  glad 
of  good  help.  So  now,  let's  hear  no  more  on  't.'  " — Life  of  Youny, 
vol.  iv.,  p.  359. 

"  When  Johnson  had  finished  his  preface  to  Shakspear,  Mr.  Thrale  said, 
'Oh,  sir,  you  have  driven  Pope  quite  into  shade.'  'I  fear  not,  sir,' 
was  our  doctor's  reply,  'the  little  fellow  has  done  wonders.'  " — Pope, 
vol.  iv.,  p.  73. 

"  Dr.  Johnson  requested  Lord  Westcote,  in  my  hearing,  to  write  this  life 
(Lord  Lyttleton)  for  him,  (though  I  am  sure  he  neither  loved  nor 
esteemed  the  man.)  Lord  Westcote  declined  the  work,  with  many 
complimentary  expressions  ;  said  his  dear  brother  was  in  the  best 
possible  hands,  &c.  ;  and  after  it  was  written  flew  in  a  rage,  and 
ran  to  Mrs.  Montagu,  complaining  of  Dr.  Johnson,  who  sat  still  and 
laughed  at  my  Lord  Parenthesis,  as  he  called  Billy  Lyttleton." — 
Lyttleton,  vol.  iv.,  p.  489. 

"  '  The  beauty  who  is  totally  free  from  disproportion  of  parts  and  fea 
tures,  cannot  be  ridiculed  by  an  overcharged  resemblance,'  &c., 
Johnson,"  finely  said,  and  accurately  illustrated;  and  it  was  John 
son's  conversation  opinion,  too.  He  liked  Mr.  Thrale,  he  said, 
because  he  had  no  trick  about  his  manner,  no  emphasis  in  his  talk  ; 
he  could  no  more  be  taken  off  (as  the  phrase  is)  than  Beauclerc. 
'  And  what,  sir,  (said  I,)  do  you  think,  then,  of  your  favorite,  Bur- 
ney  ?'  '  Oh,  (said  he,)  Burney  could  not  be  taken  off,  certainly, 
because  he  is  all  trick.'" — Dryden,  vol.  ii.,  p.  121. 

"  Dr.  Johnson  was  very  angry  that  he  was  not  called  upon  by  Garrick 
to  write  the  Ode,  (in  the  Shakespeare  Jubilee,)  which  for  that  rea 
son  he  always  ridiculed." — Dryden,  vol.  ii.,  p.  110. 

"I  have  heard  Dr.  Johnson  say,  what  'tis  plain  he  would  not  write,  how 
Parnell  could  not  get  through  a  sermon,  without  turning  his  head, 
even  in  the  pulpit,  to  drink  a  dram." — H.  L.  P.,  1802. — Parnell, 
vol.  ii.  p.  306. 

"  Richardson  quotes  as  Otway's  lines,  verses  now  well  known  to  be 
Shakespeare's ;  but  to  Garrick,  that  mine  of  mercury  striated  with 
gold,  we  owe  the  revivification  of  Shakespeare,  though  none  of  us 
had  influence  enough  with  Dr.  Johnson  to  make  him  confess  it  in 
his  Preface  or  Notes.  Mr.  Thrale  would  not  try — Garrick  had  re-

fused  him  a  favor.     He  wonld  not  patronize  Poll  Hart,  who  after 
ward  married  Reddish." — Otiray,  vol.  i.,  p.  340. 

For  a  very  curious  anecdote  of  Rochester,  see  vol.  i.,  p.  301  ;  and  of 
Thomson,  vol.  iv.,  p.  271  ;  which  would  take  too  much  space  to 
extract.  It  ia  hoped  that  the  above  specimens,  out  of  some  hundred 
notes,  will  be  sufficient  to  give  an  idea  of  the  value  of  this  Unique 
Contribution  to  the  Literary  History  of  England,  and  Memorial  of 
one  of  her  Greatest  Writers.

"  Boswell's  Life  of  Johnson  is  one  of  the  best  books  in  the  world.  It  is 
assuredly  a  great,  a  very  great  book.  Homer  is  not  more  decidedly 
the  first  of  Heroic  poets — Shakspeare  is  not  more  decidedly  the  first 
of  dramatists — Demosthenes  is  not  more  decidedly  the  first  of  ora 
tors,  than  Boswell  is  the  first  of  biographers.  He  has  distanced  all 
his  competitors  so  decidedly,  that  it  is  not  worth  while  to  place 
them  ;  Eclipse  is  first,  and  all  the  rest,  nowhere.  We  are  not  sure 
that  there  is  in  the  whole  history  of  the  human  intellect  so  singular 
a  phenomenon  as  this  book.  Many  of  the  greatest  men  that  have 
ever  lived  have  written  biography — Boswell  has  beaten  them  all."

and  Spain,  and  adjoining  Countries,  translated  by 
Mr.  Johnes  of  Hafod,  2  vols.  impl.  8vo.  doth.  1839 

The  period  embraced  in  this  amusing  work  is  from  the  latter  part  of  the 
reign  of  Edward  II.  to  the  Coronation  of  Henry  IV.  Mr.  Johnes 
has  prefixed  a  Life  of  the  Author,  an  Essay  on  his  Works,  a  Criti 
cism  on  his  History,  and  a  Dissertation  on  his  Poetry. 

Sir  Walter  Scott,  in  his  "Tales  of  My  Landlord,"  thus  speaks  of  the 
above — "Did  you  ever  read  Froissart  ?"  "No,"  said  Morton.  "I 
have  half  a  mind,"  said  Claverhouse,  "  to  contrive  you  should  have 
six  months'  imprisonment  in  order  to  procure  you  that  pleasure. 
His  chapters  inspire  me  with  more  enthusiasm  than  even  poetry 
itself.  And  the  noble  Canon ;  with  what  true  chivalrous  feeling  he 
confines  his  beautiful  expressions  of  sorrow  to  the  death  of  the 
gallant  and  high-bred  Knight,  of  whom  it  was  a  pity  to  see  the  fall, 
such  was  his  loyalty  to  his  King,  pure  faith  to  his  religion,  hardi 
hood  towards  his  enemy,  and  fidelity  to  his  lady-love."

"  I  have  no  hesitation  in  designating  Granger's  a  delightful  and  instruc

walked  the  field  alone,  it  is  surprising  what  he  has  done.  His

These  Chronicles  commence  at  the  e^act -period  where  Froissart  finishes. 
They  relate  not  only  to  the  affairs  of  France,  but  also  to  those  of 
England,  Scotland,  Ireland,  Spain,  and  some  other  parts  of  Europe. 
Monstrelet's  Chronicles  are  real  history,  wherein  are  found  all  the 
characteristics  of  historical  writing.  He  traces  events  to  their  source, 
developes  the  causes,  and  follows  them  with  the  minutest  details  ; 
and  what  renders  these  Chronicles  infinitely  precious  is,  his  never- 
failing  attention  to  report  all  Edicts,  Letters,  Treaties,  etc.  as  proofs 
of  the  truth  of  the  facts  he  relates.

Polydore  Virgil,  who  came  to  England  in  the  retinne  of  Cardinal  for- 
neto,  to  collect  the  Papal  tribute  called  Peter-Pence,  and  whose  fine 
and  elegant  style  as  a  Latinist  is  preferred  to  almost  any  of  his  con 
temporaries,  recommended  himself  so  much  to  Henry  VIII.  that  the 
King  promoted  him  to  several  church  preferments,  and  among  others 
to  the  rich  Archdeaconry  of  Wells. 

In  this  work  will  be  found  the  origin  of  various  religious  rites  and  cere

"  If  you  ask  a  well-educated  American,  when  ho  visits  England,  what 
objects  in  the  mother  country  have  impressed  him  most,  he  will  an 
swer,  "  ITS  CATHEDRALS."  Place  him  in  York-minster,  or  West 
minster  Abbey,  and  he  no  longer  thinks  of  comparing  England  to 
America :  the  reliijio  loci  makes  itself  felt ;  it  awakens  in  him  an 
ancestral  feeling  of  which  he  was  before  unconscious,  and  he  then 
begins  to  understand  that,  in  the  thoughts  and  emotions  which 
carry  us  back  to  past  ages,  and  connect  us  with  the  generations 
which  are  gone,  there  is  something  more  soothing,  more  salutary  for 
the  heart,  and  more  elevating  also,  than  in  all  the  anticipations 
with  which  a  young  and  emulous  nation  looks  onward  to  the  fu 
ture." — (Southey?  in)  Quarterly  Review.

allegory  of  a  ship  freighted  with  fools  :  and  in  this  metrical  trans 
lation  Barclay  has  given  a  variety  of  characters  drawn  expressly 
from  his  own  countrymen,  and  added  his  advice  to  the  various  fools, 
which  possesses  at  least  the  merit  of  good  sense  and  morality.

This  celebrated  Satire  on  the  Fathers  of  the  Dominican  and  Mendicant

sensation  than  any  work  of  the  kind  which  ever  issued  from  the

greater  part  of  the  Clergy,  while  upheld  stoutly  by  the  Inquisition 
it  came  before  the  general  council  of  Castile,  by  whose  orders  it 
was  rigorously  suppressed.  Copies  are  now  rare.

"  Few  subjects  are  of  greater  interest  than  the  history  of  Sacred  and 
Legendary  Art.  It  is  the  symbolism  of  the  Christian  faith,  a  record 
of  the  hate  which  persecuted,  of  the  constancy  which  overcame,  of 
a  gloomy  fanaticism,  and  the  subjugation  of  the  old  mythology  '  that 
had  peopled  space  with  life  and  mystical  predominance,'  by  another 

of  a  purer  nature,  through  the  medium  of  similar  agencies

This  superb  work  contains  many  hundred  illustrations,  large  illumina

embellished  work  ever  published  relating  to  the  Middle  Ages.  Each 
subject — as  Costume,  Architecture,  Poetry,  Illuminated  Manuscripts, 
Arms  and  Armor,  Sculpture,  Enamels,  Romances  of  Chivalry,  Paint

the  most  competent  literary  men  best  acquainted  with  it ;  forming 
a  perfect  encyclopaedia  of  the  Middle  Ages.  The  richness  and  quan

Tliis  copy  belonged  to  the  celebrated  artist  who  is  so  well  known  as  tho 
illustrator  of  Blair's  Grave,  and  other  works.  It  is  illustrated  with 
very  numerous  MS.  notes,  written  with  all  the  spirit  of  a  good  hater 
and  excessively  vituperative ;  the  following  note  is  written  on  the 
title  page : — 

"This  man  was  hired  to  Deprave  Art." 

This  is  the  opinion  of  William  Blake,  my  proofs  are  given  in  the  [follow 
ing]  notes.  The  reader  is  referred  to  the  work,  it  is  full  and  run 
ning  over  with  marginal  notes,  all  written  in  the  spirit  already 
indicated. 

"  Blake  is  a  real  name  I  assure  you,  and  a  most  extraordinary  man  he  is, 
if  he  be  still  living.  He  is  tho  Blake  whose  wild  designs  accom 
pany  a  splendid  edition  of  Blair's  Grave.  He  paints  in  water  colours 
marvellous  strange  pictures — visions  of  his  brain,  which  he  asserts 
that  he  has  seen.  They  have  great  merit.  I  have  heard  of  his 
Poems,  but  have  never  seen  them.  There  is  one  to  a  tiger,  which  I 
have  heard  recited,  beginning : — 

'Tiger  !  Tiger  !  burning  bright, 
Through  the  deserts  of  the  night,'  &c. 

which  is  glorious.  But,  alas,  I  have  not  the  book,  and  the  man  is 
flown,  whither  I  know  not — to  Hades,  or  a  madhouse — but  I  must 
look  on  him  as  one  of  the  most  extraordinary  persons  of  the  age." — 
C.  Lamb. 

"The  most  original,  and  in  truth  the  only  new  and  original  version  of 
tho  Scripture  idea  of  Angels  which  I  have  met  with,  is  that  of  Wil 
liam  Blake,  a  poet  painter,  somewhat  mad  as  we  are  told,  if  indeed 
his  madness  was  not  rather  the  '  telescope  of  truth,'  a  sort  of  poetical 
clairvoyance,  bringing  the  unearthly  nearer  to  him  than  to  others." — 
J/rs.  Jameson's  Sacred  and  Legendary  Art. 

Of  Reynolds,  however,  it  may  not  be  amiss  to  say  with  Sotheby: — 

"  Hail !  guide  and  glory  of  the  British  School, 

Whose  magic  line  gave  life  to  every  rule."

translated  by  Johnes,  2  vols.  cloth.  Lond.  1849 

"  Froissart  is  a  historian  consulted  and  cited  by  every  writer  whose 
subject  leads  him  to  the  period  in  which  he  wrote  ;  he  is  the  chief, 
if  not  the  only  authentic  source  of  information  we  are  possessed  of 
with  regard  to  one  of  the  proudest  and  most  striking  portions  of  our 
national  annals.  Even  the  readers  of  novels  and  romances,  if  ever 
they  have  in  the  course  of  their  lives  read  anything  of  real  history, 
must  be  gratified  and  even  charmed  with  Froissart,  for  there  is  as 
much  gallantry,  love,  and  adventure,  in  the  Chronicles  of  Froissart, 
as  in  any  romance,  Don  Quixote  scarcely  excepted."

Victoria,  cloth.  1842 

"  Sir  Harris  Nicolas  has  produced  the  first  comprehensive  History  of  the 
British  Orders  of  Knighthood  ;  and  it  is  one  of  the  most  elaborately 
prepared  and  splendidly  printed  works  that  ever  issued  from  the 
press.  The  author  appears  to  us  to  have  neglected  no  sources  of 
information,  and  to  have  exhausted  them,  as  far  as  regards  the 
general  scope  and  purpose  of  the  inquiry.  The  graphical  illustra 
tions  are  such  as  become  a  work  of  this  character  upon  such  a  sub 
ject  ;  at,  of  course,  a  lavish  cost.  The  resources  of  the  recently  re 
vived  art  of  wood-engraving  have  been  combined  with  the  new  art 
of  printing  in  colours,  so  as  to  produce  a  rich  effect,  almost  rivalling 
that  of  the  monastic  illuminations.  Such  a  book  is  sure  of  a  place 
in  every  great  library.  It  contains  matter  calculated  to  interest  ex 
tensive  classes  of  readers,  and  we  hope  by  our  specimen  to  excite 
their  curiosity." — Quarterly  Review.

"  Ariosto  has  been,  after  Homer,  the  favorite  poet  of  Europe.  His  graco

beauty  of  invention,  his  very  translations  of  subjects,  so  frequently 
censured  by  critics,  but  artfully  devised  to  spare  the  tediousnoss 
that  hangs  on  a  protracted  story,  left  him  no  rival  in  general  popu 
larity.  Above  sixty  editions  of  the  Orlando  Furioso  were  published 
in  the  sixteenth  century.  There  was  not  one,  says  Bernardo  Tasso,

Portuguese ;  Vasco  de  Gama  is  the  hero.  He  has  the  tender

able,  so  that  to  praise  one,  were  to  detract  from  the  rest." 

While  the  first  edition  and  sheets  of  Paradise  Lost  were  slowly  struggling 
through  the  mists  of  bigotry  and  party  prejudice  into  public  reputa 
tion,  the  poems  of  Cleveland  were  poured  forth  in  innumerable  im 
pressions.  The  reverse  is  now  the  singular  contrast ;  and  Cleveland 
has  had  the  fate  of  those  poets,  described  in  Johnson's  Life  of  Cowley, 
who,  paying  their  court  to  temporary  prejudices,  have  been  at  one 
time  too  much  praised,  and  at  another  too  much  neglected.

4194  DANTE,  La  Comedia  Divina  col  Commenta  di  Ch.  Lan- 
dino,  folio,  old  vellum.  MCCCCXCVII. 

This  edition  is  not  noticed  by  Burnet  or  Watts.  Landino  is  one  of  tlie 
most  prized  of  the  old  commentators. 

"  Landino,  in  his  commentary  on  Dante,  has  preserved  the  remembrance 
of  many  historical  facts,  and  related  many  circumstances  indis 
pensably  necessary  to  the  explanation  of  the  divine  coinedia.  His 
industry  in  the  execution  of  a  task  so  grateful  to  his  countrymen, 
was  rewarded  by  the  donation  of  a  villa  or  residence  on  the  Hill  of 
Casentino,  in  the  vicinity  of  Florence,  which  he  enjoyed  under  the 
sanction  of  a  public  decree." — Roscoe's  Lorenzo. 

This  is  also  curious  as  being  one  of  the  first  books  in  which  copper-plates 
were  introduced.

Bought  at  the  Fonthill  sale,  £2. 

"  The  secular  aims,  the  greedy  avarice,  the  nepotism,  the  shameful  vices 
of  the  Popes  whom  Dante  accuses — and  he  assailed  none  but  wicked 
Popes — were  all  the  more  hateful  to  him,  because  they  polluted  the 
sanctity  of  the  Church,  while  they  inflamed  the  discords  of  his 
country.  Such  were  the  views  which  have  caused  Dante  to  be 
ranked  as  a  partisan  of  the  Ghibellines,  although  he  repudiated — 
and  it  may  be  said  with  high  reason — the  charge  of  party — declar 
ing  that  *  rectitude  [see  this  passage  in  the  treatise  "  De  Vulyari 
Eloquio"'],  meaning  inexorable  justice — was  his  sole  guide.'  "

"The  style  of  Dryden  was  very  superior  to  anything  England  had  seen. 
....  .He  seems  to  have  formed  himself  on  Montaigne,  Balzac,  and 
Voiture  ;  but  so  ready  was  his  invention,  so  vigorous  his  judgment, 
and  so  complete  his  mastery  over  his  native  tongue,  that  in  point  of 
style,  he  must  be  reckoned  above  all  three.  He  had  the  ease  of 
Montaigne  without  his  negligence  and  embarrassed  structure  of 
periods  ;  he  had  the  dignity  of  Balzac,  with  more  varied  cadences 
and  without  his  hyperbolical  tumour ;  the  unexpected  turns  of  Voi 
ture,  without  his  affectation  and  air  of  effort." — Hallam.

the  requisites  in  a  considerable  degree  for  interesting  the  feelings 
of  an  Englishman  ;  while  in  accuracy  they  vie  with  a  gazette,  they 
are  managed  with  such  dexterity,  as  to  busy  the  mind  with  un 
ceasing  agitation,  with  scenes  highly  diversified  and  impassioned 
by  striking  character,  minute  incident,  and  alarming  situation,  &c.

The  Notes  in  this  "  singular  performance,"  as  it  has  been  called,  are  very 
copious. 

"  Above  all  the  poets  of  this  age,  and  in  the  whole  range  of  English  po 
etry,  inferior  only  to  Shakspeare.  The  first  two  books  of  his  great 
epic  are  especially  remarkable  for  their  grandeur  and  sublimity;  he 
invested  his  creations  with  the  classic  spoils  of  the  mythology  and 
superstitions  of  the  ancient  pagans,  commingling  with  them  the 
truths  of  the  Christian  religion." — Chambers. 

"  He  possesses  sublimity  enough  to  command  our  fear,  and  gentleness 
enough  to  awaken  our  affection.  He  unites  the  fancy  of  Spenser  to 
the  majesty  of  ^Eschylus,  and  the  delicate  finish  and  grace  of  Ca- 
nova  to  the  bold  and  sweeping  outlines  of  Michael  Angelo.  The 
humblest  thought,  subjected  to  the  alchemy  of  Milton's  genius,  be 
came  transmuted  into  something  precious  and  costly.  He  was  an 
enchanter  who  changed  all  the  earthen  edifices  of  the  imagination 
into  pure  gold."

Robert  Robinson,  Lond.  1588 
Valued  at  £6  6s.,  Bib.  Anglo-Poetica. 

"  Googe's  Zodiac  of  Palingenius  was  a  favorite  performance,  and  is  con 
stantly  classed  with  the  poetical  translations  of  the  period,  by  co- 
temporary  critics.  The  work  itself  was  written  by  G.  A.  Manzolius, 
and  contains  sarcasms  against  the  Pope,  the  Cardinals,  and  the 
Church  of  Rome." — Ellis. 

Warton  speaks  very  highly  of  the  original  work,  both  as  regards  its  de 
sign  and  execution.  The  same  elegant  critic  also  observes  that 
"  Googe  seems  chiefly  to  have  excelled  in  rendering  the  descriptive 
and  flowery  passages  of  this  moral  Zodiac ;"  and  also,  "  it  must  be 
confessed  that  there  is  a  perspicuity  and  freedom  in  Googe's  versi 
fication."

of  almost  every  profession  ;  but  particularly  on  the  corruptions  of 
the  clergy  and  the  absurdities  of  superstition.  These  are  ridiculed 
with  much  humor  and  spirit,  couched  under  a  strong  vein  of  alle

George  Sandys,  the  6th  son  of  Bishop  Sandys,  succeeded  his  brother 
Edwyn  as  Treasurer  of  Virginia,  where  he  finished  this  "  compo 
sure,"  dedicating  it  to  King  Charles  the  First  (who  had  just  come 
to  the  throne  as  Sandys  returned)  ;  he  says  it  was  "  snatcht  from 
the  howers  of  night  and  repose,  for  the  day  was  not  mine,  but  dedi 
cated  to  the  service  of  your  Great  Father,  and  yourselfe."  His

owed  much  to  the  beauty  of  his  translations."

Lond.  M.  Lowndes,  1609 

This  is  the  first  edition  of  Spenser's  Faerie  Queene  in  folio  :  and  also  the 
first  complete  edition  of  the  poem,  as  it  contains  six  leaves  at  the 
end  entitled  "  Two  Cantos  of  Mutabilitie,  which,  both  for  Form  and 
Matter,  appeare  to  be  parcell  of  some  following  Booke  of  the  Faerie 
Queene,  under  the  Legend  of  Constancie,  never  before  imprinted." 

This  edition  is  so  scarce  that  Lowndes  was  unable  to  quote  the  sale  of 
any  copy  in  the  very  numerous  catalogues  he  referred  to. 

"  Spenser's  works  are  an  inexhaustible  mine  of  the  richest  materials, 
forming,  in  fact,  the  very  bullion  of  our  language  ;  and  it  is  to  be 
lamented  that  they  are  so  rarely  explored  for  present  use."

valuable  than  its  predecessor,  is  one  of  the  best  printed  books  of  the 

period. 
A  leaf  with  ten  metrical  lines,  signed  "  B.  I."   (Ben  Jonson)   "To  the 

Reader,"  precedes  the  title  page,  in  the  centre  of  which  is  a  portrait 

of  Shakespeare  by  Martin  Droeshout,  the  lines  opposite  referring  to 

the  same  thus  commencing : — 

"  The  figure  that  tbou  here  seest  put, 
It  was  for  gentle  Shakespeare  cut." 

This  portrait  has  always  been  looked  upon  as  the  most  satisfactory 

likeness  of  our  Immortal  Bard.

of  the  greater  portion  of  the  impression  having  been  destroyed  in 
the  great  fire  of  London.  There  is  another  third  edition  with  the 
date  1664,  but  the  one  of  1603,  as  above,  is  the  scarcest  of  all. 
The  publishers  of  the  fourth  edition  in  1685,  appear  to  have  considered 
the  destruction  of  the  third  edition  so  extensive  as  to  entitle  them  to 
treat  it  as  a  non-entity;  and  accordingly  say  on  their  title-page, 
"unto  which  is  added  Seven  /'lays  never  before  printed  in  Folio,"  though 
they  had  been  previously  printed  in  the  third — a  certain  proof  of  its 
great  rarity  even  in  those  days.

been  retouched ;  it  has  occupied  the  upper  part  of  a  leaf  preceding 
the  title  having  the  initial  lines  beneath  it.  The  work  is  printed  in 
a  large  size,  the  prefatory  matter  occupying  only  four  pages.  Mr.

tains  Shakspeare's  Poems,  with  Gildon's  Essay  on  the  Stage,  and 
Remarks  on  Shakspeare.  This  volume  is  now  rare. 

This  edition  is  much  esteemed  for  its  correctness  and  notes. 

"  The  most  striking  instance  of  the  growing  popularity  of  the  great  Bard, 
was  the  enterprise  of  employing  Pope  to  edit  this  first  splendid  edi 
tion  of  his  works.  750  copies  were  printed  at  £6  6s. ;  but  so  little 
were  the  public  prepared  to  sustain  the  undertaking,  that  the  bulk 
of  the  edition  was  sunk  among  the  booksellers  to  16s.  a  copy."

Miss  BoYPBLL'g  OWN  copy. — Tliese  plates  were  all  selected  by  the  niece  of 
the  publisher,  and  it  is  presumed  this  is  the  choicest  copy  of  tho 
work  extant,  the  result  of  one  of  the  most  patriotic  and  sumptuous 
undertaking!  that  ever  emanated  from  the  liberality  and  spirit  of  any 
publisher  before  Alderman  Boydell  ;  combining  at  the  same  time 
employment  and  the  greatest  encouragement  to  every  one  concerned, 
from  the  elevated  genius  of  the  palette  and  maule-stick  to  the  hum 
ble  wielder  of  the  folding  stick. 

4733  SIIAKSPEARE  (17.)  BOYDELL'S  LARGE  SET  OF  ILLUSTRA

THE  DAY;  ENGRAVED  BY  SlIARPE,  IlALL,  BARTOLOZZI, 
SCHIAVONETTI,  STOWE,  OGBORNE,  MlDDIMAN,  AND 
OTHERS.  THE  WHOLE  BEING  THE  MOST  CHOICE  PROOFS 
THAT  EVER  CAME  FROM  THE  PLATES. 

They  are  accompanied  by  tho  etchings  of  every  print,  with  some  varia 
tions.  It  is  not  usual  to  find  more  than  eighty  etchings  in  a  set, 
but  in  thjp  instance  the  set  is  complete  within  one  or  two,  which  is 
sufficiently  or  more  than  compensated,  by  the  variations  of  Kisn 
LEAR  by  SHARPK  and  others,  all  in  the  lirst  state  as  they  were  printed, 
loose  in  a  portfolio  with  wrappers. 

This  splendid  work  is  a  noble  monument  to  the  genius  of  Shakspeare, 
formed  by  the  united  efforts  of  the  most  renowned  British  artists, 
aided  and  directed  also  by  the  munificence  of  Alderman  Boydell. 
Among  the  paintings  engraved  in  this  superb  series  of  illustrations 
are  the  works  of  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds,  Romney,  Opie,  Smirke, 
Northcote,  Stothard,  Fuseli,  Hamilton,  Tresham,  Westall,  and  other

In  the  first  Book  occur  two  Epigrams  on  Shakespeare.  "  Shooke

porting  a  Spear. 

118.   To  Shakespeare. 
Thy  Muses,  sugred  dainties  seeme  to  us 
Like  the  fam'd  Apples  of  old  Tantalus  ; 
For  we  (admiring),  see  and  heare  thy  straines, 
But  none  I  see  or  heare,  those  sweets  attaines. 

119.   To  the  Same. 

Thou  hast  so  us'd  thy  Pen  (or  shooke  thy  speare), 
That  poets  startle,  nor  thy  wit  come  neare.

***  There  are,  perhaps,  few  Looks  that  have  had  so  great  an  effect  on 
the  early  literature  of  England  as  the  present  volume.  Its  popu 
larity  during  the  fifteenth  and  sixteenth  centuries  is  shown  by  the 
numerous  Manuscripts  and  editions,  and  to  this  popularity  we  owe 
the  Mirror  for  Magistrates,  written  on  the  same  plan,  and  intended 
as  a  continuation  of  it  ;  the  Legends  and  Barons  Wars  of  Drayton, 
the  Civil  Wars  of  Daniel,  the  Legend  of  Wolsey,  by  Storer,  and  other 
Poems  on  the  same  model  ;  but  it  is  the  Dramatic  muse  of  the  coun 
try  that  is  chiefly  indebted  to  it ;  since  to  it  we  trace  the  origin  of 
the  Historic  Drama,  which,  rising  in  the  Ferrex  and  Porrex  of  Sack- 
ville  and  Norton,  acquired  such  strength  in  the  hands  of  Marloe,  and 
ultimately  blazed  forth  with  such  splendor  in  the  pages  of  Shake 
speare,  extremely  rare.

John  Boccacio,  the  first  refiner  of  Italian  prose  ;  con 
taining  a  hundred  curious  Novels,  by  seven  honorable

woodcut  title,  fine  copy,  old  calf,  folio.  Lond.  1620 

The  first  English  version  of  Boccacio,  with  curious  wood-cuts  ;  rare. 

"  Boccacio's  soul  was  deeply  imbued  with  the  poetry  of  feeling  and 
imagination,  and  this  faculty  is  traced  in  his  prose  works  far  more 
than  in  his  poetical  compositions.  In  attentively  perusing  the  De 
cameron,  we  not  only  admire  the  great  versatility  of  the  author's 
genius,  combined  as  it  is  with  an  expert  and  decided  hand  in  the 
management  of  details,  but  discover,  besides  a  certain  fixed  design 
in  plan  and  arrangement,  a  distinctly  conceived  and  general  ideali 
ty,  framed  and  executed  with  judgment  and  intelligence." — Schlegel.

Two  dedicatory  Sonnets  commence  the  volume  ;  the  first,  "  To  my  Most 
Deere  and  Dread  Soveraigne  James,  by  the  Grace  of  God  King  of 
England,  Scotland,  Franco,  and  Ireland,  be  all  heavenly  and  earthly 
happinesse."  The  second,  "To  the  Sacred  Queenoof  England's  most 
excellent  Maiestie,"  after  which  commendatory  verses  in  Latin  by 
J.  Sandford,  Robert  Burrell,  &c.  At  the  end  of  Microcosnios  is  a 
poem  of  22  pages,  entitled  "An  Extasie,"  numerous  dedicatory  Sou- 
nets  to  the  Nobility,  and  others. 

A  writer  in  the  European  Magazine  for  Sept.  1793  (supposed  to  be  Goo. 
Steevens),  suggests  that  Davies  was  an  associate  of  Shakspeare's, 
p.  215,  note  c,  of  his  Mu'rocosmos  ;  where  the  initials  "  W.  S.  and 
H.  B."  occur,  must  doubtless  have  been  intended  for  William  Shak- 
speare  and  Richard  Burbage,  the  latter  of  whom,  in  Oldys's  MS. 
notes  on  Langbaine,  is  supposed  to  have  been  the  painter  of  the 
Duke  of  Chandos'  picture  of  our  Bard.  The  same  writer  adds  :  "  It 
is  highly  gratifying  to  observe  that  every  new  discovery  tends  to 
confirm  the  opinion,  that  Shakspeare  was  as  estimable  for  the  good 
ness  of  his  private  life  as  he  was  superior  in  genius  to  every  one  of 
his  contemporaries."

Hearbes,  Weedes,  The  Fruits  of  Warre  ;  the  Gome-

the  Steele  Glasse  ;  the  Complaint  of  Philomene,  &c., 
and  the  Pleasure  at  Kenilworth's  Castle,  JBinck  Ccttcr 
very  rare,  interleaved,  in  4  vols.  4to.  imprynted  by  Abell 
Jcffes.  Lond.  1587 

This  rare  and  valuable  work  is  quoted  as  having  been  sold  as  high  as 
£27  6s.  and  is  marked  at  £35,  in  the  Bibliotheca  Anglo  Poetica. 

Gasco'gne's  Works  should  always  form  part  of  a  Shakspeare  library. — 
In  the  Taming  of  a  Shrew,  Shakspeare  has  borrowed  considerably 
from  Gascoigne's  comedy  of  the  Supposes.  "  Shakspeare,"  says 
Mr.  Chalmers,  "  obviously  borrowed  the  names  of  two  of  his  char 
acters  from  the  Supposes  of  Gascoigne,  which  was  first  acted  in 
1564,  and  published  among  his  Workes  in  1575  and  1587,  adopting, 
moreover,  from  Gascoigne's  comedy  sentiments  and  language." — 
Such  was  the  opinion  also  of  Mr.  Gifford,  Warton,  Dr.  Farmer,  &c. 
The  Supposes  was  the  first  comedy  written  in  English  prose.

4962  HOLINSHED  (Ralph),  Chronicles  of  England,  Scotland, 

and  Ireland,  now  newlie  augmented  and  continued, 
with  manifold  matters  of  singular  note  and  worthie 
mernorie,  to  the  year  1586,  by  John  Hooker  and 
others,  3  in  2  large  thick  vols.  folio,  IHack  Cctter,  old 
calf.  1586-7 

This  second  and  best  edition  of  this  very  valuable  work  upon  English 
history,  was  supervised,  corrected  and  enlarged  by  Abraham  Flem 
ing,  and  his  brother  Samuel  assisted  in  compiling  the  indexes  (a 
very  laborious  work),  and  made  other  improvements. 

"  The  Chronicle  of  Holinshed  merits  a  high  title.  It  is  more  full  and 
complete  than  any  of  its  predecessors,  and  less  loaded  with  trifling 
matter.  The  '  Description  of  England'  is  the  most  interesting  and 
valuable  document,  as  a  picture  of  the  country,  and  of  the  costume 
and  mode  of  living  of  its  inhabitants,  which  the  16th  century  has 
produced." — Dr.  Drake.

much  of  his  actual  language  in  the  composition  of  his  historical 
dramas.

"  Act  I.  Scene  II. 

"  Who  loues  Adonis  loue,  or  Lucre1*  rape 
His  sweeter  verse  contaynes  hart  robbing  life, 
Could  but  a  grauer  subiect  him  content, 
Without  loue's  foolish  lazy  languishment. " 

"  Act  IV.  Scene  III.  ***• 

"  Few  of  the  vniuersity  pen  plaies  well,  they  smell  too  much  of  that 
writer  Quid,  and  that  writer  Metamorphosis,  and  talke  too  much  of 
Proserpina  and  luppiter.  Why  heres  our  fellow  Shakespeare  puts 
them  all  downe,  I  and  Ben  lonson  too.  0  that  Ben  lonson  is  a 
pestilent  fellow,  he  brought  vp  Horace  giuing  the  Poets  a  pill,  but

Shakespeare." — Retrospective  Rev. 

The  works  of  Rymer  form  one  of  the  most  laughable  and  amusing  com 
ments  ever  written  upon  Shakespeare.  He  has  taken  for  his  theme 
Othello,  and  after  analyzing  it  through  several  pages,  he  winds  up 
with  the  following  summary  :  "There  is  in  this  play  some  burlesk, 
some  humour,  and  ramble  of  comic  wit — some  show  and  some 
mimickry  to  divert  the  spectators  ;  but  the  tragedy  part  is  plainly 
none  other  than  a  bloody  farce  without  salt  or  savour."

fore  obligatory  to  Christians.

Park,  Sir  Egerton  Brydges,  and  Ilaslevvood,  complete, 
in  half  mor.  and  Ids.,  uncut.  1814-15 

This  was  published  at  one  hundred  dollars  without  the  binding.  But  a 
limited  number  were  printed,  and  it  is  daily  becoming  more  scarce. 
The  original  works  are  so  rare,  that  it  is  a  question  if  they  could 
ever  be  collected  ;  and  if  they  could  be  got,  the  cost  of  them  would 
almost  purchase  a  tolerable  library.  The  following  is  a  list  of  the 
contents  :  ARCHAICA — Greene's  Philomela;  Greene's  Arcadia;  South 
well's  Triumph  over  Death ;  Breton's  Characters,  and  his  Good  and 
Bad  ;  Nash's  Christ's  Tears  over  Jerusalem  ;  Harvey's  Four  Letters 
and  Sonnets  touching  R.  Greene ;  Harvey's  Pierce's  Supererogation  ; 
Harvey's  New  Letter  of  Notable  Contents  ;  Braithwaitc's  Essay  on 
the  Five  Senses.  HEMCONIA — Breton's  Small  Handfull  of  Fragrant 
Flowers;  Proctor's  Gorgeous  Gallery  of  Gallant  Inventions  ;  Breton's 
Flourish  upon  Fancy  ;  Handefull  of  Pleasant  Delites,  edited  by  C. 
Robinson  ;  Whetstone's  Life  and  Death  of  Francis  Karle  of  Bedford  ; 
Phoenix  Nest ;  Barnes's  Spirituall  Sonnets  ;  Spirituall  Sonnets  by  II. 
C. ;  Churchard's  Funeral  of  Sir  F.  Knowles  ;  Storer's  Life  and  Death 
of  Cardinal  Wolsey  ;  Allott's  England's  Parnassus  ;  Churchyard's 
Good-will ;  Sad  and  Heavy  Verses  for  the  Losse  of  Archbp.  Whit- 
gift,  by  Churchyard. 

In  this  set  the  Archaica  is  in  9  parts,  boards,  and  the  Heliconia  9  parts 
in  7  vols.  half  morocco;  it  will  be  sold  as  in  1(>  vols.
